Once I am licensed, what are the Continuing Education Requirements?
The Georgia State Board of Occupational Therapy requires each licensed OT and OTA to complete continuing education. A minimum 24 contact clock hours of continuing education is required for every renewal. Sixteen of the hours must relate to direct “hands on” patient care. Up to 8 hours can be obtained using on-line or home-study courses. The remaining hours may be in any contact area related to occupational therapy practice including but not limited to supervision, education, documentation, quality assurance, and administration. The Georgia State Board of Occupational Therapy requires each licensed OT and OTA to complete up to 2 hours in Ethics, every two years or per each renewal period. Please refer to Rule 671-3-.08- Renewal of License/Penalties/Continuing Education Requirements for additional information.
